week five, thursday.

[requiemed]

[It’s easy enough to guess the places Ray is going to gravitate towards by now. She heads towards the bookstore, and when she sees him there, she raises a hand in greeting.]

Hey there. Got a second?

[selfimmolates]

Hm? Sure.

[requiemed]

[She fishes a friendship bracelet out of her pocket; it’s the same one Connor was wearing last trial.]

I’ve got one more thing for you.

[selfimmolates]

... Does it actually do anything, or is it just...

[requiemed]

Yes, it does something.

[She holds it out to him.]

Tug on it if you need to tell me anything tonight. I might be able to hear you wherever you are.

[selfimmolates]

[he takes it.]

... All right. Thanks.

[requiemed]

It won’t last more than a sentence or two, so if you do need to... You know. Make it count.

[selfimmolates]

I always make things count.

[requiemed]

...Yeah. I know.

[She tries for a smile; it doesn’t quite reach her eyes.]

I’m just worried about you, I guess.

[selfimmolates]

Don't. I know what I'm getting into.

[requiemed]

I'm not saying you haven't considered the risk, I just...

[She sighs.]

I don't know.

[selfimmolates]

... I get it. I can't make any promises, but like I told Yu—if anything happens, I won't go down without a fight.

[requiemed]

[She doesn't look consoled by that, but she does look like she's trying to tuck it away.]

Right. Nobody can make any promises here... It's not your fault.

[selfimmolates]

... Mm.

[there isn't much he can say to console her, so.]

By the way, do you know anyone with Lie Detection?

[requiemed]

[She blinks, tilting her head.]

No. Why?

[selfimmolates]

It's a handy ability for trials, but the person I was working with before switched, so...

[requiemed]

[She frowns.]

Yeah. I wish I knew, but...

[A small shrug.]
